This invention relates to comb cleaning devices and has for its objectthe provision of a device which may be permanently or otherwise securedin position, so as to be at all times convenient foruse.

Another object is to provide in connection with a comb cleaning device,a rack for holding the comb, so that after the comb has been cleaned itwill be conveniently located for future use.

lVith the above and other objects in view,

the invention includes the following novel features and details ofconstruction, to be hereinafter more fully described and illus-. tratedin the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention,

Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like characters ofreference denote corresponding parts, the invention comprises a frame,which is formed of side bars 10, the latter including parallel uprightportions 11, provided with openings 12. These openings are designed. forthe passage of screws or similar fastening devices and provide means forsecuring the device to a suitable support, located in convenientposition for use. Extending upwardly from the lower ends of the uprightportions 11, are arms '13, the latter terminating in outwardly extendingprojections 14:.

about the bars, as shown. The projections 14: serve as a support for abrush '18, so that after the teeth of the comb have been cleaned uponthe wire 17, the said teeth may be sub jected to a further cleaning bymeans of the brush 18. As illustrated, the side bars 10 are of angularshape, the formation providing a continued rack for the reception of acomb. To provide for holding the comb in position upon the rack, thereis located at the juncture of the vertical portions 11 and the outwardlyand upwardly inclined portions 13, projections 20, which may be rivetedor otherwise secured to the side bars.

The invention provides an exceedingly simple and convenient article forthe purpose intended and one that may be manufactured and sold at asmall cost.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportionsand minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved tomake such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is:

An article of the class described comprising a frame including side barsformed of parallel vertical portions to provide attaching means,outwardly and upwardly inclined portions extending from the lower endsand forming a continuation of the vertical portions and reverselyinclined extensions forming a continuation of and projecting from theouter ends of the inclined portions, transversely disposed notchedspacing bars connecting the upper ends of the side bars and the outerends of the inclined portions, strands of flexible material positionedin said notches and connecting the spacing bars, a brush carried by thereversely inclined extensions and parallel projections extendingupwardly from the juncture of ithe vertical and inclined portions of theside bars and cooperating with said vertical portions to provide a rack.
